The interdependence of transport and tourism has a negative aspect as well. Transport,
as mentioned earlier, has an extreme negative impact on nature that can be seen in: noxious
gasses and substances emission, noise emission, visual degradation of natural scenery, water
and soil pollution with hazardous substances pouring out and the like.

The actual moment of tourism is characterised by high rates of growth that should
according to prognoses continue in near future. Special attention is given to numerous kinds
of selective tourism, among which, because of expanding devastation of nature, more
attention is paid to different products deriving from ecological tourism. These important kinds
of tourism are contrary to transport system development especially road transport that
compared to other transportation branches is the most aggressive one according to ecological
criteria.
